So I'm still awaiting my first BP revolver, the 1858 NA .44 target from cabela's. I've got some supplies including some lubed wads. Just wondering if these can be difficult to seat at all.
Do you seat a wad with the loading lever before seating the ball, or do you just put the ball on top of the wad and then seat them both? Is it easy to seat them flushly on top of the powder? I'm thinking maybe they sometimes turn out of position and get folded over on their way down the chamber and don't form the proper 'seal' between the powder and the ball.
Thanks in advance.
